FOUL OUT VOLLEYBALL

Pujols was under the pop-up over by the stands, his big first baseman’s glove held high over his head, when the ball bounced out and went straight into Catcher Chris Iannetta’s glove. An easy out.

The TV announcers were surprised by Iannetta’s catch, but he wasn’t. That’s why he’d run over to help.

Nobody sees it on TV, but every infielder is on the move whenever a ball is in play. Everybody’s going somewhere, doing something, covering a base, backing up a teammate. That’s why it’s so hard to get hits in professional ball.
